Lance Bass, an incredibly talented American singer, skyrocketed to stardom as a vital member of the iconic pop group NSYNC, which is undeniably one of the most successful boy bands in history. With their mesmerizing music, NSYNC managed to dominate the charts with two sensational albums, namely “No Strings Attached” (2000) and “Celebrity” (2001), both reaching the coveted No. 1 spot on the Billboard charts. Sadly, like all good things, NSYNC eventually disbanded. However, it was during this time that Lance Bass fearlessly embraced his true self and courageously came out as gay in a captivating cover story for People magazine in July 2006.
Bass, hailing from the charming town of Laurel, Mississippi, proudly embraced his Southern Baptist upbringing. His melodious voice resonated through the walls of the church choir, as well as various esteemed performance groups within his locality and state. At a tender age of 16, destiny beckoned as he embarked on an exhilarating journey with NSYNC, gracing European stages from 1995 to 1997. The band’s ascent to stardom in the United States commenced when they caught the discerning eye of RCA Records in 1998.
